“The sacred bond of Sanatan faith and the call of Maha Kumbha brought us here” – Pakistani devotees

“The sacred bond of Sanatan faith and the divine call of Maha Kumbha pulled us here. For years, we had a strong desire, but more importantly, our ancestors longed to participate in Maha Kumbha, take a dip in the Triveni Sangam, and collect its holy water. Today, that wish has been fulfilled,” expressed the Pakistani devotees who arrived for Maha Kumbha.

They wholeheartedly thanked the Indian Government and the Yogi Government of Uttar Pradesh, stating :

“Thanks to Yogi Government, we were blessed with the opportunity to participate in Maha Kumbha. The arrangements here are exceptional. The environment, food, cleanliness—everything is praiseworthy. In Pakistan, we are not even allowed to visit temples. Coming here has not only fulfilled our spiritual longing, but we also feel that our ancestors have attained salvation. Since childhood, we have heard about the sacred land of Prayagraj and Sangam. Today, after bathing in Maa Ganga, we feel our lives have been truly blessed.”
